Early brain development is a biological black box. While scientists have devised multiple ways to record electrical signals in adult brains, these techniques don’t work for embryos. A team at Harvard ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

How does our brain, which is capable of generating complex thoughts, actions and even self-reflection, grow out of essentially nothing? An experiment in tadpoles, in which an electronic implant was ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Flexible electrodes were implanted into tadpole embryos when they were days old - Liu Lab/Harvard School of Engineering and ...

Scientists have succeeded for the first time in directly reprogramming human blood cells into a previously unknown type of neural stem cell. These induced stem cells are similar to those that occur ...

image: Mutations in a gene known as interferon regulatory factor 6 that cause cleft lip and palate also are implicated in neural tube defects such as spina bifida, suggests research by an ...

Below is a guide on how to choose the appropriate markers to label neuroepithelial cells. The neural plate and the neural tube, during embryonic development, are formed by neuroepithelial (NE) cells ...
